Advantage Miss Seeton by Hampton Charles

A summers day resounds to the thwack of ball on racket, as Britains young hopeful seems setto knock out her American opponent. Yet it soon emerges that her father has made an enemy who will stop at little to harm them both. But the wrongdoers have reckoned without artistic sleuth Miss Seeton, who defeats them game, set and match.

PRAISE FOR MISS SEETON:

'This is not so much black comedy as black-currant comedy.. You can't stop reading. Or laughing' The Sun


'A most beguiling protagonist!' New York Times


'Light, zany, this novel is peopled by several genuine human beings you hate to see go' Houston Post


'Depth of description and lively characters bring this English village to life' Publishers Weekly


'Miss Seeton gets into wild drama with fine touches of farce... This is a lovely mixture of the funny and the exciting' San Francisco Chronicle


'For those who like a bit of fun in their mystery stories a new Miss Seeton yarn is always welcome. Heron Carvic once more provides his readers with a host of chuckles while at the same time assuring plenty of action' Lewiston Journal


'She’s a joy!' Cleveland Plain Dealer


'Miss Seeton is a star!' Detroit News


'Not since Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple has there been a more lovable female dabbler in crime and suspense' Amarillo News


'Miss Seeton is the most delightfully satisfactory character since Miss Marple' Ogden Nash

Hampton Charles was a pseudonym of English crime writer Peter Martin (1931–2014). Born a London cockney, he preferred for a number of years to live and write his books in a remote village even smaller than Miss Emily Seeton’s Plummergen. He wrote three Miss Seeton titles: Advantage Miss Seeton, Miss Seeton at the Helm, and Miss Seeton, By Appointment.
